The Vanguard Pendant

The Vanguard Pendant is defined by its substantial, unyielding architecture. Stoney designed this piece around a thick, solid rub-over bezel that completely encircles the sapphire, offering the ultimate protection for daily wear without compromising on elegance.

The round Australian sapphire is held securely within the smooth walls of precious metal. Unlike a hidden setting, the Vanguards bezel adds significant metallic presence, creating a bold, polished frame that amplifies the stone's vivid colour. The articulated, tapered bail allows the pendant to move freely, catching the light perfectly with every step.

Achieving a true rub-over bezel requires immense bench skill. The metal must be seamlessly forged and burnished over the stone's edge without a single ripple or gap. Every Vanguard Pendant is hand-finished to a pristine mirror shine, ensuring it feels as substantial as it looks.
